B*TCHFest: Your weekly therapy!!!

  THE RULES: "B*TCHFest"  is provided as a public service to those of us who have gripes and grievances but whom, for whatever reason, lack a regular forum in which to air them.

You are welcome to voice any problems - large or small, important, mundane or ridiculous -  that currently have your panties wadded, your shorts frosted and your gears ground. Don't hold them in and risk future medical issues, wrinkles and/or those pesky gray hairs.

ANY and ALL issues that are plaguing you are open for you to voice; there are no "sacred cows." They say that "feelings aren't facts", so if you're feeling it, it's legit to you. NO ONE is allowed to flame a poster for something he or she writes, however commiseration is not only welcomed but encouraged. Please, no personal attacks against other OH members (at least, not by name.)

Okay, here's my stream of negative consciousness, the stuff that's got me pissed off:

Grammatical errors and typos in the media. For God's sake, computers come with spell checkers. Use them before you go to print or go on the air!!!

Why does the price of the newspaper keep going up while publishers keep whining that no one is buying the newspaper anymore? DUH!

People who say they hate this country, while they enjoy everything it has to offer. Hey, folks! There are about 200 other countries out there. Pick one and friggin' MOVE if you hate it here! In fact, that'll free up some more space for the people who are literally DYING to get here. Shut up and **** off!

Ill-mannered kids and their ill-mannered parents.

People who think it's funny to bark at dogs when I'm TRYING to teach said dogs NOT to bark at people. Grow up, ********!

What the hell is wrong with my wrist????!! Stop hurting!

Okay! Now it's YOUR turn!

This post could not have come at a better time! I am so mad & pissed off at my 18 year old daughter! I am so sick and tired of her smart ass attitude! She can be such a ***** to me, heck to everyone and I am so sick of it! She is rude, mean and selfish! She is NOT supportive at all. She constantly wants fast food and encourages me to eat things I shouldn't. I know I cannot blame her for my weight issues, but I need support and sabotaging! Argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All this stress is making my band tight & I cannot eat, guess that's good in some ways.

Hope everyone has a nice day!

I feel your pain with the 18 year old.  All I can say is "God please help us through these years and prevent us from killing them!!)

My stupid fricking boss who neglects to tell me that I now have another job to do and I find out from my main office that I'm three months behind on getting the reports to them.  Your a f**king moran that can't figure out your a$$ from your elbow.  Nor can run the program

Please swing anything for me that will help with a new job I went on an interview for.

I applied for a huge promotion yesterday.  It will take up to 6 months to go through the entire procedure.  I went through this in 2007 and was shot down.  Now, I'm trying again, and I hate the waiting and suspense for probably the same resutls,  but it's definitely worth pursuing.  Wish me luck and patience.

I also hate that my feet hurt when I walk.  At 2 1/2 miles my left toes start cramping horribily.  I have to stop at 3, take my shoe off, and stretch out the toes.  Then I can finish the 4 miles, but after my momemtum and heart rate have gone down.  I went to specialty running store and got new shoes to address this problem, but no luck.  I would like to enjoy these walks more than I can with this irritating pain.  Gripe, gripe.

OMG! Okay, husband...it's a preschool conference for our daughter and yes, even if they are running late you need to stay there for it! I couldn't get off work today so he had to go in my place. He walked out when they weren't getting to him and now he's sitting on his but****ching tv  at home because he's too "busy" to wait to talk about our daughter because "it's just preschool". It's not about you, it's about our daughter! GRRRR! I had to make arrangements to meet with the teacher later today. She's squeezing me in between other conferences. And to top it off, she tells me that they were running late today because the assistant teacher called in because her mother died. I feel so bad right now. I apologized all over the place for him walking out. What is his problem today?!

I'm in an apartment building with a common laundry area.  There is a tiny little wastebasket for dryer sheets and lint.  There's even a sign not to put anything else in the can.  Why do people who empty their giant size detergent bottles stuff them into that little can!  Take it back to your friggin' apartment -- you're going there anyway!!

Dear Hubby,
I am sick and tired of watching your skinny ass eat chips and drink beer every damn night while I am stuck drinking this nasty ass protien chit. 

I cannot wait for your metabolism to catch up with your mouth.

Thanks,
Andrea

Ain't that the truth??? My husband loses 30 pounds in no time doing no form of exercise unless you count lifting the remote control to change the channel and eats double quarter pounders with large fries and a large coke.  I eat 1,000 calories a day and run 4 miles a day, 5 days a week and I lose maybe 10 pounds a month. 

I definitely like your line - I cannot wait for your metabolism to catch up with your mouth.
